Gethin Jenkins, a player who knows a thing or two about grand slams, will be
fit to face England on Saturday after recovering from the calf injury that
ruled him out of Wales’s victory over Scotland. Jenkins played his part in
all three of Wales’s Six Nations grand slams, in 2005, 2008 and last year,
but it remains to be seen whether he can dislodge Paul James from the No 1
shirt for this weekend’s game at the Millennium Stadium. Rob Howley, the
interim head coach, is to name his team on Thursday.
